December 15, 2025, 5:38 AM EST. Rumors point to an early reveal of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite and joined by two Redmi midrange models: the Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Pro. The Turbo 5 is said to use MediaTek's Dimensity 8500, while the Turbo 5 Pro may sport the Dimensity 9500 and a massive 9,000 mAh battery with 100W charging (the non-Pro may offer a 7,500 mAh cell). A new flagship smartwatch with eSIM support, a large 930 mAh wearable battery, and Xiaomi HyperOS are also expected, along with a midrange tablet, two pairs of TWS earbuds, and other IoT devices. Blind pre-orders have begun; price in China may match the previous generation, with no confirmed global pricing.
